I hope my news today will give hope and encouragement to all those facing an uncertain future especially for those recently diagnosed with PCa.

Two years to almost to the day (01 April, 2015) I was diagnosed with Locally Advanced T3a PCa.

Today, I was told by my Specialist Nurse at my routine 6 monthly appointment, that my PSA remains undetectable and they are very confident that the treatment has been a success, and I can also be confident about being cured. I am now being discharged back to my GP with PSA test going forward at 12 monthly intervals.

Along with everyone else, I know that we are all unlucky to have this shocking disease. Personally I feel incredibly lucky that I appear to be pulling through this relatively unscathed. I have no continence issues, and now I am able to get very usable erections without any meds!

The psychological impact has been quite cathartic. I now know what is really important to me, I'm far less judgmental and I think it has bizarrely made me a much happier and hopefully better person.

I'm not leaving this forum, but I do want to thank everyone for their support during this time, you are all amazing!

What a lovely update Pablito and I'm sure it will lift the hearts and spirits of those who are feeling a little bit down today.

Bet of luck for your continued monitoring and cure

Very good but don't miss further recommeded PSA checks. Unfortunately PCa can and sometimes does rear it's ugly head again, perhaps years later

Thank you all!
@ Barry, I'm on the case, I've told my GP already, that I want a PSA test in September! My cynical side of my brain says they are returning me to me GP a tad early just to reduce the patient lists. I have also been told for me there is a 1:4 chance my PCa will return. I'm realistic but enjoying the moment!
